درباره این اپیزود
The holidays have a way of speeding up the calendar and slowing down the heart. We leaned into that pause to take stock of what truly mattered this year: a community that keeps showing up, trips that became milestones, and tiny travel comforts that somehow mean the most. From crossing a decade-long Napa and Sonoma dream off the list to recovering health just in time to fly, we trace how gratitude can turn ordinary moments into markers you carry forward.
We dig into why travel amplifies thankfulness. New places wake up your senses—sunsets feel brighter, street food tells a story, and hotel coffee tastes better when you didn’t have to brew it. Even a simple staycation can reset your pace and remind you to be present. We talk about “double gratitude,” the way you feel thankful during a trip and then again when the memory lands, and how that echo can power real planning for what’s next. Experiences over things is more than a trend; it’s a shift that makes budgets, priorities, and calendars line up with values.
That lens inspired our new Gratitude Journal—simple prompts, open space, and intentional questions that help you reflect, dream, and plan your next adventure with clarity. We share practical ways to use it without pressure and explain why the words you choose and the people you surround yourself with can change your trajectory. Clear intentions follow: a full week somewhere warm, a first solo escape, and the courage to put yourself on your own itinerary. Gratitude isn’t just looking back; it’s a compass for where to go next.
If this conversation sparks something, grab the journal in the show notes, take five minutes to write, and map a trip future you will thank you for. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help more travelers find us. Where will your gratitude take you next?

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:22.960
Hey guys, so welcome back to Suitcase Diva's podcast where we talk travel, life, and all the beautiful little moments in between.
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:29.359
And today, you guys, we are doing something a little bit different, a little reflective, peaceful.
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.079
So we're coming into Thanksgiving.
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.799
And we wanted to do a Thanksgiving episode.
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.399
Yes.
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.240
So, and this is our Thanksgiving gratitude episode.
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:42.640
Okay.
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.439
And we're very excited to share this space with you.
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:55.280
You know, in this time of year, I think it's always good just to kind of slow us down, give us a chance to kind of notice all the good things that have happened this year and that are in our life.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:04.719
So the people, the moments, the memories from the year, and you know, in our world, all the travel experiences that have shaped who we are.
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:05.439
Yeah.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:06.480
Awesome.
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.760
Well, let's start what we're grateful for this year, Jackie.
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.120
Let's start with gratitude for the present for this year.
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:18.319
We're so incredibly thankful for you guys, the listeners, our supporters, all our guests.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.159
We've had amazing novelists on.
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.239
We've had women-owned, we've had air balloon operators.
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:32.079
I mean, we've had so much within the last year or two that we're just so grateful for anybody that wants to be part of our little show.
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.519
And it continues to grow.
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.560
I'm so happy that our numbers are going up and up.
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.079
And this year we have something a little bit extra special for you guys.
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.519
We're putting together a travel gratitude journal.
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:52.079
And that's going to help you reflect, dream, and plan for your next adventure with intention, because that's what it comes down to.
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.159
So it'll be linked in the notes below.
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.799
We'll have that up, we'll have that available to you.
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.760
Yeah, and I'm very excited about that.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:12.879
I think it's going to be a great opportunity for us to look back and remember the stories that we've had, we've shared, the destinations we've explored, conversations we've had this year that have changed your lives or opened our hearts.
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:13.280
Absolutely.
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:20.159
The different types of connections that we've made, and especially with us through the podcast, you know, the people that we've met and everything.
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.319
But every download, every message, and every, you know, like, hey, I listened, or thank you for that episode.
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.319
It means so much to us, guys.
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:29.120
So thank you.
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.240
Thank you so very much.
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:31.599
We are very grateful.
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.680
So I did want to mention something that I am personally grateful for this year, talking about present time.
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.199
I'm definitely grateful for all the personal growth I've had.
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.199
I've spent a lot of time, just me, myself, and I, kind of getting to know me.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.159
And through that, I was able to join an amazing podcast.
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.159
Don't know if you guys have heard of it.
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:58.080
And I've just been super grateful for all the opportunities I've had, even in my business and my wedding show and getting that to grow.
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.439
So, yes, I have quite a bit to be grateful for this year.
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.240
Indeed.
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:03.039
Indeed.
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:09.120
And I know a lot of people are grateful through their travels and any little experience or trips they took.
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:22.960
How no matter how big or small, I personally am grateful to be able to cross off my amazing 10 plus year bucket list trip to Napa and Sonoma with my best friends from college.
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.319
That was that was a trip I will never ever forget.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.800
So many amazing memories made.
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:38.000
And I'm also thankful to my doctors for getting me the surgery, my gallbladder surgery, gallbladder removal research surgery, resurgery.
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:39.360
It's just a surgery.
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.800
Dear Lord, do not let there be a resurgery.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:43.599
It's already gone.
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.560
It's not there anymore.
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.000
No, we're not doing it again.
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.240
No, but it made me so sick.
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.199
And you remember that time where like I couldn't, I couldn't do the podcast adequately.
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.400
I couldn't even eat.
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:55.439
I couldn't drink water.
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.639
Like, so for them to get on it and be like, we can get this out.
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.919
And I only had a few weeks of recovery before I went on that trip.
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:10.960
So I am just so I'm so so grateful beyond there's many things I'm grateful for, but that was a trip that I've been planning for over a decade.
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:17.839
And I'm very grateful that to be healthy enough and have the ability to go on that trip.
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.279
So yes, yeah, and that's just such an amazing thing.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.600
And you know, travel is it just kind of invites gratitude, right?
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:36.160
In the sunsets we look for, and the meals that we're planning for, you know, all those special foodie tours we might do, the different cultures we see, and even the people you travel with.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.959
That's definitely a big part of it, you know, shaping those memories and having those experiences.
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.079
Yeah, for sure.
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.040
Yeah, definitely have to be grateful for that.
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:53.199
So, again, in the perspective of travel, because you know, we are travel agents, so this is what we love to talk about.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.120
But it definitely gives you a time just to be able to even just step away.
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:13.920
So, I mean, I know for me, staycations have been a new and big thing for me, just even just taking a night or two away, just being very grateful for the opportunity to be able to do that, and just taking time to notice life and be able to pay attention to the small things.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.160
Yeah, awesome.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.160
And so, yeah, and travel, I will say travel forces us to be present.
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:27.120
You can't help but be aware you're in a new place, new taste, the culture, the people.
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.839
It's like gratitude wakes you up for the moment.
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.240
That that you get on that plane and you are headed to your destination.
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:44.720
I'm telling you what, I have major gratitude at that point because who doesn't love to be embarking on a brand new cruise, vacation, where even road trip?
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:52.639
You're just so it's good to be grateful for these opportunities, even no matter how big or small.
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:53.439
You know what I'm saying?
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.600
Yeah, yep, no, absolutely.
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:06.480
So, as a question to our listeners, just curious, guys, to take a moment and ask yourself what trip or moment or experience this year are you thankful for?
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.439
Did you get to go on your bucket list vacation?
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:16.959
Did you get to do a mini staycation or a road trip or maybe take a day or two at your favorite amusement park?
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:17.360
Okay.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.240
Yeah, a Disney Queen, Disney Queen.
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.519
I was about to say, you know, sometimes a little day trip is just the right therapy that's needed.
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.759
I'm very grateful for that.
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:28.879
Yeah.
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.639
And the thing about travel is it makes you grateful twice, right?
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:40.319
Because you're grateful for when you take the actual trip, but then you're also grateful to have the memories that you made on that trip.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.560
And that's why travel is should always be a part of your life.
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:45.600
It should always be.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:55.120
And and it and I love that you get to have the gratitude twice when you're there and then when you reflect on being there and all the adventures you had along the way.
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:55.839
Yeah.
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:56.319
Yeah.
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:02.079
And it's even going back to just taking time to notice and think about the small things.
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:12.639
You know, I know when I'm on vacation, you know, maybe at home, I might not always consistently make my coffee every morning or might forget to, you know, go to the grocery store.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.040
But the the hotel is always going to have a wonderful cup of coffee for me.
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:24.240
And I'm very, very grateful for that every morning that I can have coffee that I didn't have to make, and that's just there for me, you know.
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.680
So there anything you don't have to make yourself makes it a little tastier and a little sweeter.
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.680
I swear it does.
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:32.879
It tastes so much better.
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.000
Hotel beds just feel better, the showers are different.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.959
Like it's just all the little things all put together.
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:39.600
Yeah.
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.079
I remember my mom used to make coffee for us when we would come home from high school.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:51.680
And there's something about the coffee that she made that you can't really replicate replicate that.
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:52.480
You know what I mean?
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:59.920
Is it and I mean maybe it's just because it was my mom's, but it, you know, it maybe her secret ingredient was love.
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.839
That's what I always say.
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.879
It's a real ingredient, it does make things taste different.
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:05.439
I agree.
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.879
It sure does.
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:20.399
And travel reminds us that gratitude isn't just about the past or being grateful isn't just about the past, it's a compass to go into the future and remind us what we want to be grateful for next year.
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.319
So let's make that our next segment.
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.800
What do we want to be grateful for next year?
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:28.720
Yeah, I love that.
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.840
So, you know, in thinking about this, 2026 seems a little daunting.
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.399
I can't believe we're already at the end of 2025.
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:44.000
Oh my gosh, like I'm pretty sure it's actually January, like the first week of January, and just no one told us.
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.720
But I know for next year, especially with travel, I do have one big goal.
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.799
I personally want to take a full week of vacation, full seven days.
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:53.440
Nice.
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:54.480
Just me.
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.600
And it's we're gonna go somewhere tropical and warm.
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:02.879
So either I will be at a resort for a week or I will be on a beautiful cruise for a week.
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.919
So stay tuned to see where I'll be going.
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:06.480
Okay.
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:19.600
But for you, you know, maybe you're going on your honeymoon next year, or maybe your bucket list trip is gonna be checked off next year, or that family vacation you guys have been planning forever is actually taking place and happening.
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.799
So, you know, next year is a brand new opportunity for all of those fun travel experiences.
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:40.799
Yeah, and what I will say is I just recently saw a poll that is saying when people are talking about what they want for the hot what they want for Christmas or what they would love to have, it's really on the top of the list is travel in personal experiences.
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.360
And that doesn't mean it has to be an all-inclusive for a week or a cruise or whatever.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:52.080
It could be a weekend in Vegas, it could be like a camping trip out in, you know, at a campground.
00:09:52.240 --> 00:10:02.720
Just those per people are saying, I would rather have even an upgrade to a first-class airline ticket than like a new luxury purse or handbag or something like that.
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:10.639
People are wanting to travel and they want the experiences and the the personal touch versus a material thing.
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:11.679
And I love that.
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.399
Well, we both love that, especially as travel agents.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.720
So that's a good, that's a damn good sign.
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.639
That absolutely is, and I totally agree with that.
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.559
And that's something that I kind of grew up with.
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:36.159
My family was definitely big on experiences over gifts, so you know, we got stuff, but for birthdays and Christmas, yeah, it was more we're gonna take you someplace or take you to something that you would enjoy or go see this and create that experience.
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.559
So I absolutely love that.
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:45.360
Yeah, and maybe the other thing you could be grateful for, I know a lot of people don't focus on themselves as much.
00:10:45.600 --> 00:11:04.000
Usually it's about giving, especially as moms, and and I'm I'm not meaning that to be cliche, but I do think typically most moms put everybody else before themselves, but it's okay to do something for you, and I would encourage all of you to put that into your 2026 intentions to do something for you.
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:11.120
For me, going into 2026, I would like to do some kind of solo trip like you.
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:20.559
I I it would be outside of my wheelhouse and it would be a challenge to me outside of my comfort zone because I like to be the passenger princess.
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:42.960
But I bought this Go Wild Pass, and so I really want to get on a plane by myself and go somewhere and do something by myself, and so that is gonna be one of my intentions of 2026 is to no matter where I go or how big or small the trip, I'm gonna be out there navigating on my own out in the real world.
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:48.320
I love that, and I can promise you with that, Pat, you'll be very grateful for the pricing.
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.960
So we'll just throw that in there.
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.279
Okay, awesome, awesome.
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:59.120
Yeah, so and you know, guys, gratitude grows when intention grows, okay?
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:05.919
Yeah, intention can begin with the imagination of what you want your future self to thank you for, right?
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:16.080
What do you want in a year to be able to say, wow, I'm so proud of myself for, or I want to thank myself for taking the time to, you know, what do we want to be able to say to ourselves?
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:17.840
And that's kind of where it begins.
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:29.360
Yeah, and that is absolutely why Jackie and I came up with this travel gratitude journal, because I think that is gonna help you all decide like, what am I grateful for today?
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.120
But yet bringing us into 2026, what do I want to be grateful?
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:41.840
Because I will tell you, I, you know, having gratitude in your life and part of the journal is you know, the three things per day or whatever.
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.879
It doesn't have to be every day, but what are the three things you hear?
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:50.639
All the self, you know, coaches out there being like, gratitude is everything.
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:56.080
Like a list, three things you're gonna you're grateful for in the morning, three things you're grateful for at night.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:07.840
If you can't make that list every day, I know it's busy, the days all running together, and but just putting gratitude in your life and intentionally putting gratitude in your life will change your life.
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:18.559
Because if you surround yourself with people that are negative, that do not have gratitude, then I will tell you, I've been around that situation and it's miserable.
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.159
If you include gratitude in your life, positive things are gonna start happening.
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:32.799
If you surround yourself with like-minded people that have gratitude in your life, things are going to shift and you will have positive things happen.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.679
You will have a kind of self-esteem and happiness that you're like, where did this come from?
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.360
How am I feeling this?
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.519
Um, so I would have to say intentional gratitude in your life will change your life.
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:54.639
And surrounding yourself with people that also share that same concept of intentional gratitude daily is going to make a positive impact in your life.
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.279
So think about who you're surrounding yourself with now.
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:03.840
Just as just take a practice a pause and just think who am I surrounding myself with every day?
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.600
Are these people positive?
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:12.399
Are they lifting me up and congratulating me or giving me or you know, give put filling my cup?
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:22.799
Or are these people making digs or not noticing your accomplishments or trying to overshadow what you've done for yourself for growth?
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:24.639
That's what you need to do.
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:32.320
Just take a moment and think if these if this is the type of people I'm hanging around, maybe I need to let some of them go.
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:52.480
Maybe I need to focus my attention and my energy into leaning into more positive people and more grateful people that show gratitude because that will absolutely I am a proven fact of if you surround yourself with positivity and grateful people, it will improve your life significantly.
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.519
Don't you think that can absolutely ring true?
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.679
Oh, yeah, no, I absolutely agree.
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:03.600
And you know, I always heard the phrase, you know, you are who you hang around or you are who you associate with.
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.840
So, you know, just always be cautious of that.
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.600
And it's so true what you're talking about, even just positive words.
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:23.360
Positive, I know everyone's like, oh, we do affirmations and everything, but writing down and being intentional about what you are thankful for, what you're grateful for in your life, and putting that positivity in there does make a huge difference.
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:35.360
And it's funny, it made me um think of this one study I saw, and actually, I believe it was actually at the travel convention last year, where they talked about how you know positivity really does affect us.
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:38.000
And it's a study where they talk to rice every day.
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:44.879
They take a cup of rice and they take one cup and they say all these negative things to it, and then they take another cup and say all these positive things to it.
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:54.799
And the negative rice within like a week or so just starts growing mold for no other reason than you are saying negative things, putting that negativity out there does affect you.
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.559
So imagine what it does to us as people in our minds.
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:05.600
So keeping that positivity, keeping that gratitude is definitely going to be life-changing, as Denise said.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:11.120
And with that, again, talking about the suitcase Divas travel gratitude journal.
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:17.600
Yeah, as she said, it's gonna be just a simple way for you guys to be able to reflect, you know, daily when you have a quick minute.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:17.919
Yeah.
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:23.840
Again, we totally understand everyone has busy lives, so we tried to keep it super simple, no hard questions, I promise.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:32.399
Okay, but just somewhere for you guys to be able to have a space just to take that time and bring that positivity into your life.
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:33.759
Yeah, I agree.
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.039
So, so we will be giving you the gratitude journal.
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:47.200
There's definitely we have specific prompts in there for you, but there's also space in the back of the journal where you can write your own prompts or you can just reflect on what you're going through.
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:59.200
But just an example of some of the prompts are like what travel experience this year changed me, and even what small way, what fear do I want to leave behind before my next adventure?
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:07.920
Because we've all been traveling and come realize something like, oh, I didn't know that was a hang up, or I didn't know that this was a thing for me.
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:13.759
So, or like, what do I want future me to thank present me for?
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:24.720
I I look back, I look forward to going to 2026 and looking back and being like, thank you for setting these intentions, and and I've achieved this.
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:38.880
So all of these things are just we we're putting this journal out because we both have realized that having a journal, writing stuff down, being intentional, having gratitude has made a world of difference for us this year.
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:46.960
It really has changed our lives, and we would love to change your lives too by having you experience that same type of positive effect.
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:51.519
So that's why we are putting this journal out for you guys this year.
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:54.160
Yeah, yeah, and I love that.
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:59.599
And I know this was kind of mentioned before, but you know, we want you guys to think of it as kind of like a compass.
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:09.200
You know, we love to talk travel, but guiding you to the experiences that are going to bring you joy and connection and adventure and maybe even peace and relaxation.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:09.759
Yeah.
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:12.160
Absolutely.
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:18.720
So as we head into this Thanksgiving holiday, we hope you do take a moment to breathe.
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:20.160
Maybe practice the pause.
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.880
I don't know how many of you are spending time with family.
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:31.279
You might you might need to just take a pause and then just be present in the moment that you're in.
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.279
I mean, maybe you're traveling somewhere that there's snow and you don't get to see snow.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.440
Just be grateful that you got that experience.
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.720
I hope you get out on Sunday if you need to get out on Sunday.
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:41.359
Yes.
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.160
But that could be an experience in the airport too.
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.839
Maybe you meet your new best friend there.
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:52.960
You just always have to be looking for the good because you guys, there is good everywhere if you're looking for it.
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:57.759
I mean, yeah, you can find good and positivity anyway.
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:03.759
You just gotta kind of find that silver lining and and kind of spin it the right way.
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.160
Because what good is it to be a Grinch?
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.000
Nothing good is gonna come out of that.
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.079
You just gotta you gotta keep the positivity flowing.
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:13.759
I agree, right?
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:21.200
You gotta keep it up, you gotta keep dreaming, keep planning, keep pushing for it, and most importantly, give yourself permission.
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:30.000
Okay, I know Denise mentioned, you know, there are probably some moms listening to this and just busy entrepreneurs or busy people, and sometimes we get caught up in that.
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:40.480
But don't forget that you can allow yourself to take that moment, take that weekend, take that week, and to do something for you and to you know fulfill your dreams.
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.599
Yeah, absolutely.
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:49.920
So, from our suitcase family, diva's family to yours, we just want you to be, we're just thankful for you.
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.440
We're thankful for all you guys.
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:56.160
We hope that you have a lovely holiday and that the gratitude journal.
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:57.279
I hope you guys all find it.
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:01.599
I hope you print it out, and I hope you use it because it will change your life for sure.
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:03.519
Absolutely, yes.
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:08.640
We are very grateful for you guys, not just this month or tomorrow, but every month.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.000
Okay, so happy Thanksgiving, divas.
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.519
I hope you guys all have a wonderful, wonderful holiday.
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.559
Yes, and thank you for being part of our journey.

00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:22.799
